A sweet, joyful and charmingly funny springtime picture book celebrating the determination of a little duckling who finds inventive ways to keep up with his family.

“Perfect for reading aloud. Humorous and charming.” The Horn Book

“This winning tale champions creative problem-solving.” Publishers Weekly

“For preschoolers and kindergartners, this book has the perfect pace, the right amount of suspense, and a satisfying outcome. Delightful.” School Library Journal

“Rhythmically paced and richly illustrated. The combination of fun sound effects and sweet visuals will keep readers entertained. Lighthearted, onomatopoetic fare.” Kirkus Reviews

Mamma Duck and her ducklings are paddling to the pond. But the littlest duck, Puck, keeps falling behind… “Keep up, Duck!” his mama quacks. But Puck is determined. Even if he can’t swim very fast, he WILL find a way to keep up!

The youngest of readers will soon be joining in with Mamma Duck’s irresistible refrain in this bouncy picture book from the illustrator of children’s favourite, Do Like a Duck Does!

Ivan Bates studied at Manchester Polytechnic and debuted as an illustrator with his art for Sam McBratney’s The Dark at the Top of the Stairs. His other titles include Just You and Me, In Crack Willow Wood and Just One!, all written by Sam McBratney; as well as Do Like a Duck Does!, written by Judy Hindley. He was shortlisted for an East Anglian Book Award with his most recent title, The Hide-and-Scare-Bear. Keep Up, Duck! is a special collaboration with his late wife, Rachel Bates. Born in Northamption, Ivan now lives in Norfolk.
